We are fans of the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, so it is no surprise that we find a tour of Samara to be fascinating. Tours usually include an opportunity to view in detail a great example of Wright's Usonian designs. Even better, the Christians have continued to furnish the house with custom furniture, housewares, rugs, etc., that were part of Wright's original design for this house. If you're really lucky, Dr. Christian will join the tour to tell the story of how he and his wife met Wright and convinced him to design their home. Tours are normally conducted by trained docents, many of whom are neighbors.

I have had the opportunity to tour Samara House several times with various groups. Wow, we have a Frank Lloyd Wright house tucked away here in our own community. With each tour, I learn something new. This is just one of the many fun, educational things to do here. I highly recommend taking the time to make Samara House a top priority on your "to do" list.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Samara House has been kept in original condition -- a tribute to the owners and the famous architect. This is so worth visiting if you are lucky enough to get the opportunity.

IF you are a Frank Lloyd Wright fan, you need to see this house. I can't believe it is in Lafayette Indiana! So nicely kept.

I took a Samara tour as part of an architectural history class. At that time the tour was given by Dr. John Christian, the Purdue professor who had Frank Lloyd Wright design the house for him and his wife in the 1950s. You can't get much closer to the architectural origins than that. Through the years, Dr. Christian has added numerous details to more fully realize Wright's vision for this particular Usonian home. It's rare to find such a perfect, accessible specimen of Wright's work.

The tour was extremely good, informative, and fun. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. Went with 3 others friends and we all enjoyed it and were able to take lots of pictures. Since there was only 6 in the tour that day (a Friday) we were able to ask all the questions that we wanted and it felt like we were guests in the house and not just receiving a tour. Highly recommend it..

Dr. Christian and his wife approached Frank Lloyd Wright in the 1950s in hopes of him building them an affordable, smaller scale home on their property in West Lafayette, Indiana. Today, Dr. Christian, though almost 97 years old still lives and keeps up the home. Though on our tour, Dr. Christian was tired and was not able to meet with the tour group, one can sense the love and devotion that he and his late wife have had and still have for the home. The docent, Linda, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the home, its story, its owners, and the work and creations of Frank Lloyd Wright. She was an interesting and dynamic tour guide of the property.Conclusion: The Samara House offers a great tour of a home still loved and occupied by the original owner who commissioned the construction from one of America's greatest architects. It's a great piece of American history to check out if you are in the area.

Visited Samara on Saturday. Excellent tour and Linda did an outstanding job. We found this to be the best cared for and kept FLW home we have toured. The grounds are also open to visitors and their design is also stunning. Thank you Dr. Christian for sharing your home. What a treat for us.

We are extremely fortunate to have a FLW house in our community. If you visit or live in our community, do not miss the opportunity to visit this house. The original owner still lives there and is very gracious in sharing this treasure with others.
